Idris Elba in Talks to Star in Guy Ritchie’s ‘Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur’

There’s a “RocknRolla” reunion on the horizon, as Idris Elba is in talks to co-star in Guy Ritchie‘s “Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur” an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

Elba is not circling the lead role of Arthur, but rather an older Knight named Bedivere, Arthur’s father’s right-hand man who takes it upon himself to train the young warrior for battle as he learns his true destiny.

Elba next stars in the home invasion thriller “No Good Deed” and the Sean Penn action movie “The Gunman,” as well as Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation.” He’ll also voice Shere Khan in Disney’s “The Jungle Book.”

Elba, who won a Golden Globe several years ago for “Luther,” is represented by WME, Headshell Management and the Artists Partnership.
